Audible Feast Review of Scene on Radio

“Scene on Radio is a unique and diverse documentary/storytelling show from the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University. It is hosted by John Biewen, who has been involved in audio projects for over 30 years and is an instructor at Duke. The show is self-billed as exploring the question “how’s it going out there?” – which lends itself to a wide variety of current events and cultural discussions. Episodes feature content both from Biewen and his students in the CDS.
I’ve been listening since the show debuted in 2015 – the first episode I heard was Hijabis, which was an undergrad student production of two separate segments. I still remember this episode, almost a year and a half later. Hearing two very young women talk about being Muslim in America, I felt so strongly that other people should listen to it. It wasn’t overly emotional or at all manipulative, but it was one of those heart- and eye-opening pieces of audio that I wish people would hear, because it might pull back a layer of intolerance if the right person heard it.
If you like This American Life, which is a gateway podcast for many, you’ll enjoy Scene on Radio. Give it a listen if you’re into documentaries, sound-rich personal narratives, and great storytelling – you won’t be disappointed, and hopefully you’ll learn something about the people living around you.”

Do give it a listen and support this work. It also sounds...”Read full review »

“A wonderful podcast this is outdoing itself with the Seeing White series. As essential for Americans as the OJ: Made in America documentary, each chapter has an eye-opening story and perspective I've never or rarely heard. John Biewen is a tremendous host and brings in great guests that speak...”Read full review »
